10. Lockout

"So if the big hand is pointing to the three..."
After the enjoying the quirky, french based style of both Léon and The Fifth Element it has come as a bit of a surprise to me that Luc Besson has rested on his laurels. He now seems to be quite happy to churn out any old B movie tat.

Needless to say Lockout follows that trend. But in a very enjoyable, wise cracking fashion. Guy Pearce is great as our head exploding hero Snow and Maggie Grace provides a good foil for his snappy repartee as they try to escape the space prison for Glaswegians.

A good distraction for a Tuesday night. Luc Besson needs to try a bit harder though...
